Pandaren will not happen. Ever. Every time it's suggested, a kitten dies.
No, really. NEVER.
I try to be helpful when I post, but i have to agree with this guy. give the kittens a reprieve.
edit: and furblogs? yeah right. after that well play cobolds.

Bah, with those "furries", you'd further take this game down to the level of an 8 year old kid. Instead, why not continue the ruggedness and crudeness of the Horde and the prissiness and sissiness of the Alliance?
Proposed Horde Races:
- Ogres. Half-naked with bits of metal hanging off of them. Check. Large bellies. Check. Fangs. Check. Warlocks and Mages would feature models with 2 heads.
- Fel Orcs. Large, red, muscular orcs.......with demonic powers. Bringing bad-ass back to the Horde since the Blood Elf debacle.
Alliance:
I don't care much for Alliance, maybe they can grab up the Blood Elves and see their Hunter population spiral out of control.

while I would love to see Pandarens, it would be an extreme longshot since the Chinese quite frown upon the race given that it would allow pandas to be harmed (it is a sacred animal to them). I believe there are a few blue posts (I would have to dig through old old posts to link :x) to that effect.
However (and more on topic!), nice read all in all :)
Other than that, I liked the presentation, but as said, sadly, pandarens will never be a playabe race.
When those two things are illegal in China, that analogy will be valid.
I see this all the time.
Everyone says it will never happen and Blizzard has mentioned it in the past.
I've done a
lot
of searching and never found, in a forum post or online news article, mention from a Blizzard representative that the status of the panda in China has anything to do with the Pandaren not being in the game.
As for it being "illegal" in China to show a panda being harmed, it's odd then that Kung Fu Panda, where the main character, Po, gets royally ass-beat in several scenes, was available for viewing in China.
Point of fact,
this
article from November 2007 seems to state that there were no such laws regarding panda imagery at that time, and that this would be the first.
So please, stop the misinformation. It's one thing to not want pandaren; it's another to perpetuate constantly a baseless rumor. Until I see a link to a post from Blizzard, the available information seems to point to the contrary.

I had a thought once that they could make both Goblins and Ogres playable races in an expansion, with the idea that you could
choose
which faction to belong to. The idea being that, when you create a goblin or ogre character, you go through a death knight-style quest series ending with your character heading to Stormwind or Orgrimmar to pledge allegiance. Of course, this would also create an issue where these races couldn't be death knights, but seeing as every other class has prohibited races, I didn't see this as a problem.
Classes would be easy enough to figure. We know ogres can be warriors, shamans, mages, and warlocks. Hunter might also fit. For goblins, warrior, rogue, mage, and perhaps priest to give them a healing class (are there goblin priests?). Racials wouldn't be too tough; at the very least, Orges could have an innate strength bonus, and goblins could share the gnome engineering racial.

I want a goblin steam-mech pilot class. And a gunslinger. ;) Dual wield guns, no other weapons. It would be
awesome

I'd love to have Pandarens as a playable race, possibly for both factions :) (not gonna happen, I know), as I don't really like Furbolgs much... they haven't really made a positive impression during my time in Felwood... or whatever the name of the zone was...
I'd probably roll a Horde panda anyway, if the OP's suggestion was ever to be accepted.
Also, why is implementing Pandaren in wow such a blasphemy, when we already have them in WC3?
Because even in WC3 they were still a joke.

Animal races should remain proto-humanoids with limited vocabulary ... not central focus in the lore.
Huh?
The Dragonflights are an animal race, yet they've long been a pretty central group within Warcraft lore. The naga have been around for quite awhile as well, have they not?
:P I should really just drop the argument. Your opinion is that they don't belong; mine is that it would be awesome. *shrugs*

I wonder how would be called the Expansion that would add that races...
WoW: The Bear-ing?
WoW: Now Appeals to Furrys too!
WoW: The Furring Crusade
Other than that, I liked the presentation, but as said, sadly, pandarens will never be a playabe race.
Tauren and druids appeal to us...

Pandaren are neutral, and completely reclusive. No way thats happening.
The Furbolg are suffering from race-wide insanity (bar one tribe). See above.
